I will not lie- the church service was not a huge success with four kids. It was HOT, there were bees flying everywhere and they just could not understand why we had to sit still and listen instead of walking right over to the cool, refreshing water and swim.
Once we were able to get in the water, the kids were in heaven! They absolutely loved the kiddie area and were not scared of the slides at all. It was a constant cycle of up the steps and down the slide, up the steps and down the slide! Addison and Parker even attempted some of the bigger kiddie slides this year.
Next we took the kids to the fountains, which was Parker's favorite thing to do the last time we came 2 years ago. All four of them enjoyed running through the water together.
I love these two pictures of our "cousin pairs"! I am so thankful for the bonds that they share and can't wait to meet the other half of Lily's cousin pair here in a few short weeks! (Hurry up, Baby Rowland! We can't wait for you to get here!)
After the fountains, we headed to the wave pool to cool off in the water. The little girls, Emily and I spent a lot of time in the wave pool while Cory and Jon took Addison and Parker on one of the BIG, grown up slides. They were both very excited until they got up to the top and Parker, true to form, started to fuss and back out. Cory knew he would love it if he just tried it so he picked him up, put him on the double inner tube and made him go down the slide with him. He said that Parker laughed the whole way down and asked to do it again as soon as they got to the bottom.
After lunch, we let the kids hang out in the kiddie area again before packing up and heading home. Parker and Eden were both exhausted but had a great time! It was such a fun family day and I can't wait until Lily is old enough to go with us! Thanks again Emily and Jon for letting us share this fun day with you! We can't wait to go back again soon!
